Speaking the same language as technology: National AI terminology glossary updated

Artificial intelligence is evolving rapidly, with new terms emerging almost every week. To ensure that government, business, media, and researchers speak a common language, the Ministry of Digital Transformation has presented an updated edition of the national glossary of artificial intelligence terms.

 

The new edition includes 40 contemporary concepts reflecting the latest technological trends and current international regulatory practices. Each definition is accompanied by an English equivalent to support a shared understanding among professionals developing AI products and shaping legislation.

 

What’s new in the glossary

The updated glossary explains key concepts and mechanisms shaping today’s AI industry. New terms include:

• AI slop — low-quality mass-produced content generated by AI, where speed and scale of production outweigh accuracy and substance.

• Prompt injection — the manipulation of a language model through specifically crafted inputs designed to influence its behavior.

• Model drift — the gradual decline in a model’s accuracy caused by changes in real-world data over time.

• Superintelligence — AI systems capable of self-improvement that significantly exceed human cognitive abilities across all domains, from creativity to strategic thinking and complex problem-solving.

• System prompt (initial context) — the initial instruction provided to an AI system before user interaction begins. It establishes the context, rules, and operational style for the entire session.

 

Machine-readable format

The glossary is available not only as a standard text document but also in a machine-readable format. This provides a practical and convenient tool for developers, researchers, and organizations working daily with large datasets and neural network training.

Explore the modern language of artificial intelligence and navigate with confidence through technologies that are already transforming the world today.

As AI continues to evolve rapidly, the glossary is not intended to be exhaustive. It will be expanded and updated as needed to reflect technological developments, professional practice, and international approaches.
